Nice work ... while we are on the subject, I would need advice on filling the laser engrave with acryl paint colour.
After making CA finish, I put on the laser engrave acryil colour. And it is just fine on dark woods like walnut, but on the maple it mess up the finish. It leaves colour stains wich can not be removed with anything but sanding.
The finish is dry, it is multilayer and it holds ink (I try every pen after making CA to see if it keeps the ink from getting to the wood).
I have made several pieces and try-outs on not-engraved wood and it is the same story. That means the laser work has nothing to do with it.
Is acryl paint too agreesive for CA finish ? Should I buff the pieces with tripoli before filling the engrave with colour ?
Thanks in advance for help.
